"In all of us there is a hunger, marrow-deep, to know our heritage, to know who we are and where we have come from. Without this enriching knowledge there is a hollow yearning. No matter what our attainments in life, there is still a vacuum, an emptiness, and the most disquieting loneliness."

Family Recipe Friday - Thanksgiving Cranberry Salad

I've heard this called 'redneck cranberry salad' and 'cheating heart salad'. By whatever name you decide to call it, it is simply put, one of the most flavorful, and versatile, cranberry salads you can make.

﻿

I make this
every year for both Thanksgiving and for Christmas. We sometimes also make
traditional cranberry sauce, but my family really prefers this!

Ingredients

1 large

package of cherry
jello

2 c

hot water

2 c

sugar

2 Tbsp

lemon juice

2 c

drained crushed
pineapple (2 - 8oz cans) (juice reserved)

2 c

pineapple juice (use
the reserved juice and add water to make 2 cup)

2 c

chopped cranberries

2

oranges (zest the peel
and chop the fruit after removing the seeds and discarding)

1 c

pecans, chopped

Preparation

1

Boil
the cup of water. Dissolve the jello in the hot water in an 13 x 9 in square
pan mix well. Add the sugar, lemon juice and pineapple juice. Stir to dissolve
well. [I use either a very large salad bowl or serving bowl, that can then be
placed directly on the table or buffet during the meal and looks nice. I have
even placed this is a trifle bowl, where it can be viewed for how lovely all
the ingredients looks.

2

Add
the remaining ingredients and mix. Chill overnight.

You
can serve this dish with your savory meal, as the salad, or if you top with a
little whipped topping, it even makes a sweet and tart dessert!
